Patrik Schick has once again found himself at the center of transfer speculation, with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal all reportedly keen on bringing the Czech striker to the Premier League. Schick, who has been a standout performer for Bayer Leverkusen in recent seasons, continues to impress with his clinical finishing, intelligent movement, and physical presence. The 29-year-old has played a key role in Leverkusen’s attacking success, especially during their title-winning Bundesliga campaign last year, and his resurgence from injury setbacks has only increased his value on the market.
Despite the growing interest, Bayer Leverkusen are standing firm in their stance on the striker's future. CEO Fernando Carro has publicly reiterated that the club has no intention of selling Schick, underscoring their belief that he remains a vital component of their project under manager Xabi Alonso. Schick is under contract until June 2025, and by all indications, both the player and club are content with the current arrangement. However, with Premier League sides in need of reinforcements up front especially Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal, there is speculation that a substantial bid could test Leverkusen’s resolve.
Lot of exits seem to be lined up for Bayer Leverkusen soon
Beyond the Schick saga, Bayer Leverkusen may be bracing for a summer of significant departures. One of the most prominent names linked with a move is Florian Wirtz, the 22-year-old playmaker who has emerged as one of Europe’s brightest young talents. Bayern Munich are reportedly leading the race for his signature, with Wirtz believed to favor a move to the German giants. A potential €150 million transfer is on the cards, which would represent one of the biggest deals in Bundesliga history.
Meanwhile, experienced defender Jonathan Tah is also expected to leave, with his contract expiring and Bayern expressing renewed interest in bringing him to Munich on a free transfer. The list of potential exits doesn’t stop there. Jeremie Frimpong, Leverkusen’s dynamic right-back, is being closely monitored by Manchester United and Bayern Munich. His €35 million release clause is attracting definite attention across Europe.
